It appears that the file may actually be a classic Mac application because the 
Sourceforge link goes to a .sit.hqx file 8-0

You may be able to extract it with ffmpeg 
http://www.savvyadmin.com/extract-ac3-dolby-digital-with-ffmpeg/

pre-compiled mac versions are available here http://www.ffmpegmac.net and there 
are a couple gui frontends: http://www.iffmpeg.com (looks like it may be 
commercial, or at least shareware) http://datura.sourceforge.net and 
https://www.ffmpegx.com both open source, and possibly this which appears to be 
some sort of AV super toolkit http://www.selur.de

I do know I've used ffmpegx in the past to convert audio and video files from 
one to another.

Thank you for the link...but it seems to be in French, and thus not accessible 
to my mono-lingual brain. FYI the recording specifies 5.1 Dolby Digital AC-3 
and DTS Surround Sound, and that it plays on all DVD-Audio and DVD-Video 
players. Am I out of luck?

Thanks! Bill

DVD-Audio (aka DVD-A) is a high fidelity audio format that competed with SACD.  
Both are pretty much dead audio formats (have been for about 10 years now).  
DVD-A doesn't have video.  It is audio only.  It may be recorded at 24 bits per 
sample at a bit rate as high as 192 khz, though 96 is more common.  DVD-A 
recordings may be in 5.1 surround.  The only way to hear the full quality of 
this recording is to play with a DVD-A player.  You can play these discs in a 
regular DVD player if they have a separate track that plays in the standard DTS 
5.1 format that your movies have.  This forum post may be helpful.

Hi there: I have a commercial recording of some music, which was issued as 
DVD-audio rather than CD-audio. There’s video material included, which I guess 
accounts for that. My question is this: I want to export the audio so that I 
can store it in iTunes, but I have no idea how to do so. (DVD Player is the app 
that launches automatically when I insert the disc.) Is there a reasonably 
simple way to do so?

As always, my thanks in advance!
